Since 2K26 recently released its WNBA player rankings, there is a lot of excitement in the air right now. Wow, those rankings are impressive. With a 96 overall rating, Caitlin Clark, the rookie sensation who is dominating the Fever and the league, comes in at number four.
However, seated above her? Before she arrived, three players—Napheesa Collier, A’ja Wilson, and Breanna Stewart—were blazing the courts. Starting at the top, Collier grabbed a towering 98 overall. That is a statement rather than merely a number. The forward for the Minnesota Lynx is not just another outstanding player; she is currently leading the league in scoring and the defending player of the year. Discuss how to command respect from both sides of the room.
A’ja Wilson will come next. With a 97 overall, the Aces’ powerhouse waltzed into your gameplay. As a three-time WNBA MVP, two-time champion, and Finals MVP, she has accomplished it all and continues to do so. With a 97 overall, Breanna Stewart is equally impressive. You name it: two-time MVP, multiple-time champion, Finals MVP, etc. She continues to be the focal point of the Liberty’s hopes of winning a championship.
Caitlin Clark comes in right behind them with that 96. It is by no means a criticism of her. That rating says a lot for a guard in her second year who is still getting used to life after some injury setbacks. She has already broken viewership records, earned Rookie of the Year, and made the All-Star team, even serving as its captain.

Her ranking at No. 4 is, to be fair, a respectable but realistic move rather than a snub. Collier, Wilson, and Stewart are not just well-known figures on paper; they are successful, honored, and still in their prime. Even though injuries have slowed her progress this season, Clark is the rising star, full of energy and promise.
Although Clark may not be at the top of the charts at the moment, that is precisely what makes following her journey so captivating. If you give her time, the next rankings could look very different because she has the energy, the hype, and the numbers.
